Hello and welcome to One Hundred Days Plus. | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
It took two and a half weeks and finally the Conservative Party | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
has a deal to support their minority government. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
Theresa May has the backing from Northern Ireland's DUP, | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
The Prime Minister promised Northern Ireland a billion pounds | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
It's been a busy day for Mrs May - in the House of Commons she laid out | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
the government's post-Brexit offer to EU citizens living in the UK. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
No EU citizen currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
at the point the UK leaves the EU - we want you to stay. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Also, President Trump says the Supreme Court has just given him | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The justices will let part of his immigration order go forward | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
and will hear the whole case in October. | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
You're both over 50. That will cost you. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
The battle over healthcare - more Republican senators say | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
they don't like the party's new health care bill and even | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
And India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi comes to Washington | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
for his first meeting with Donald Trump. | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
Welcome to the programme, I am Christian Fraser | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
in London Katty Kay is in Washington. | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
Finally, the British Prime Minister has a working majority | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
to keep her in office but only thanks to a expensive deal | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
with the largest party in Northern Ireland. | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
The agreement signed today with the DUP ensures that ten | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Unionist MPs will side with the Government on confidence | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
The deal guarantees Northern Ireland an extra | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
$1.2 billion, or ?1 billion of funding over the next two years. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
And the DUP could even come back to ask for more after 2019. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
So Mrs May has some explaining to do to her critics - | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
how come money is hard to find for schools and hospitals, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
but not when it comes to keeping the Conservatives in power? | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Well today, the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
said that the deal was of benefit to the whole of the UK. | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
Throughout these discussions our commitment has been to acting | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
in the national interest in accordance with our shared | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
objective for strengthening and enhancing our precious union. | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
In concluding this wide-ranging agreement, we have done so in terms | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
of enhancing the security of our nation, building prosperity | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
for all and supporting an exit from the EU that benefits all parts | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
The DUP's Sir Jeffrey Donaldson signed the official | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
paperwork for the deal today and he joins me now. | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
Hello, thank you for being with us. It has been described in all sorts | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
of ways in the House of Commons, a grubby deal, and there will be many | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
people in the country who say, why is the Government using taxpayers' | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
money to stay in office? Well, good evening from Westminster. There's a | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
clear reason for this, Northern Ireland sustained 30 years of a | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
terrorist conflict in which our infrastructure was seriously damaged | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
and money that should have been invested in infrastructure was spent | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
on security during that period. Which meant we fell away behind the | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
United Kingdom, the rest of the UK, in terms of bringing our | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
infrastructure up-to-date. So this money is to help address that | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
deficit. To improve our hospitals and schools, and to address the | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
deficit in public services. So I think there is a case to be made for | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Northern Ireland. We have made the case. We have made it to the | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Government and we have won this extra money for Northern Ireland. So | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
while there will be some critic, I listen to the Labour Party | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
criticising extra money for schools and hospitals and roads and housing | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
and creating more jobs in Northern Ireland, but why would that be a bad | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
deal for part of the United Kingdom? Clear something up for us, there is | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
some confusion in Northern Ireland today, is this money dependent on | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
the power-sharing Executive being reformed? Obviously our preference | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
is that the Northern Ireland Executive gets up and running. We | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
want to see a properly functioning government in Northern Ireland. We | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
are ready do that today. However, in the absence of an Executive, this | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
money is ear-marked for Northern Ireland. We have a mechanism between | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
the Conservative Government and the DUP that will ensure the money is | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
delivered for Northern Ireland if there isn't an Executive. So it can | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
be spent through direct rule? Yes, because ultimately if we don't have | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
a functioning government in Northern Ireland, then Westminster has the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
responsibility to ensure that Northern Ireland is governed. The | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
issue of the border isn't in the deal, but explain something to me, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
what's to stop a member of the European Union, somebody from | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Romania or Poland, landing in Dublin, wandering across the board | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
tore Northern Ireland, getting a job in Belfast and travelling to London | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
and taking up residence in London? Well that presupposes we don't have | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
modern technology. Of course we do. When you walk down the high street, | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
you're being watched by CCTV. We have got the technology now to | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
follow people wherever they go. So if someone lands in Dublin and | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
crosses into the United Kingdom and gets a job in Belfast, the | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
authorities in Belfast will know about that person. If they seek to | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
travel to other parts of United Kingdom, the authorities are going | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
to know about that person. Every time I travel from Belfast to | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
London, there is a record of my travel and my journey. So the idea | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
that people can move about freely and government doesn't know what | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
they're doing, I'm afraid doesn't reflect the reality. But that is | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
still a hard 300 long mile board tore -- border to track everyone. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
You're saying you will be able to track every person that goes, | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
arrives in Dublin and goes north? Of course not. We are not saying you | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
track them at the point they cross the board -- border, although we do | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
monitor the movement of vehicles on a daily basis. Dublin shares | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
information with London already about the movement of people in and | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
out of the country. Of course there are ways in which people can cross | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
the border. . But when they're in Northern Ireland, they can't hide | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
forever. They're going to have to come out and if they want to be | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
employed, Northern Ireland is a small community of 2 million people. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
The idea you can hide thousands of people in that small community just | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
doesn't reflect the reality of the situation. Of course, we are going | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
to know that people are there. And if they seek to move to other parts | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
of UK. Their movements will be monitored. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
We want to talk to you more about Brexit. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Today the Government set out its offer for EU citizens | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
It's a 15-page document that will now form part of the negotiation. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
We have picked out some of the most interesting elements. | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Those granted "settled status" in the UK | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
will be able to work, study and claim benefits | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
The cut-off date will be sometime before March 2019. | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
Once EU citizens have been in the UK for five years they can | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
But importantly there will be a two-year grace period | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
If there is to be a transition period for business after March | :08:07. | :08:18. | |
2019, then the EU has already signalled that single market rules | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
would have to apply - and that includes free | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
This two years grace period could form a basis | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
for a transitional trade deal somewhere down the line. | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
Today Mrs may said she wanted to address the concerns | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
The leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn said her offer | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
I know there's been some anxiety for EU citizens | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
about what would happen at the point we leave the EU. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Today I want to put that anxiety to rest. | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
I want to completely reassure people that under these plans no EU citizen | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
currently in the UK lawfully will be asked to leave at the point | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
By making an offer only after negotiations have begun the PM | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
has dragged the issue of citizens and families deep into the delicate | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
and complex negotiations of our future trade relations | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
with the EU which she herself has being willing to say | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
This is confirmation the govt is prepared to use people | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
Sir Jeffrey, come bg back to you, who should have jurisdiction when it | :09:11. | :09:23. | |
comes to EU citizens, the British or the European Supreme Court? We | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
believe it should be in the British courts of course. Because the UK | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
will be leaving the European Union. I think the proposals that the Prime | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Minister's put forward are entirely reasonable and I think quite | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
generous. We haven't yet heard from the EU. The detail of thier | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
proposals ago the rights of British citizens living in EU states it | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
would be good to hear how generous they are going to be those people. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
Arlene Foster will be influential in this debate. How can she be so | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
influential in the UK Government and also in Stormont. There is clearly a | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
conflict of interest? I'm not sure that there is. In the end | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
immigration is a national issue, not a devolved issue. She is going to be | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
in negotiations with the Government and then has to sit down in | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
negotiation with Sinn Fein and she is talking to the Government about | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
the power sharing is and she can whisper in the the Prime Minister's | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
ear. If Sinn Fein took their seats at Westminster, they have seven MPs. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
They choose to exclude themselves from Westminster from the national | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
Parliament. That is their choice. We didn't put them out. No one else | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
did. They took that decision themselves. And look the DUP has ten | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
MPs elected to Westminster. Why should we have a voice? Do my | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
constituents not have the right to be represented at Westminster and | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Stormont. It was Westminster that established the devolved government. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
But there are different powers at store months and different powers at | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
Westminster. Immigration is a Westminster issue and it is right | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
that the DUP MPs at should have influence like other members of | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Parliament. If Sinn Fein want to have influence, they know what they | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
need to do. Thabg their seat - take their seats at Westminster. That | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
what is they were elected to do. Thank you for joining us. Is is very | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
complicated and a real can of worms, there are issues of sovereignty, | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
immigration of London being a fair player in the Northern Ireland | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
agreements and there is Scotland and Wales saying f this money is going | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
to Northern Ireland, what about us? I don't see how it is going to be | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
easy for Theresa May to answer her critic on this. It is difficult. It | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
will be some relief to the government that they have this done | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
before Thursday, when they vote on the legislative programme. It | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
wouldn't have been good to be seen to still negotiating, because things | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
are chaotic enough and there will be that argument from Scotland and | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
Wales. But Damian Green. Already is. Damian Green said there are lots of | :12:09. | :12:19. | |
deals outside the Barnett formula. And Jeffrey Donaldson is right, why | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
should Northern Ireland constituents be less important. I'm conscious as | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
a northerner we never talk about the money that goes to places like | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Newcastle and Sunderland. The problem for the Government is each | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
time they talk about austerity, everybody will point to this deal. | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
Yeah. Now on to the news from the United States. | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
A clear victory for national security. | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
That's what President Trump is calling the Supreme Court's | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
decision to partially reinstate his travel ban | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
which has been held up in the legal system for months. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
It impacts citizens from six Muslim majority nations and now it will be | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
enforced for anyone who doesn't have an existing relationship | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
with a person or entity in the United States. | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
The Supreme Court will examine the case in full in October | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
and in today's statement the president said this ruling | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
will allow him to use an important tool for protecting the US. | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
Joining us now to discuss the impact is strategist Ron Christie. | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
The president says this is a clear victory for him over a contentious | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
issue, this travel ban, but it is not a total victory is it, they | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
didn't go as far as he might have wanted. I think it is a big victory | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
for him. In the sense of he gets his travel ban, he gets to say that you | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
have to stay out of United States for a certain amount of time. But | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
most importantly the Supreme Court will hear nit October. I think my | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
reading is the justices want to look at this full and look at the | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
conflict in the two circuits that have been looking at it and say we | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
are going to rule on this. Spell this out for people who had been | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
wanting to travel to the United States from those Muslim-majority | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
countries, what does this mean for them in practical terms? If you have | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
a relative, a job, if you have a presence, a contact in the United | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
States, you're still free to come to the United States. If you don't have | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
a someone or a reason to be here in the United States, then that means | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
that the amount of duration for this ban, you can't come to the United | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
States. I guess the question is will we see the chaotic scenes at the | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
start. I remember that. On that Friday. The thing that struck me, | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
looking at this ruling today, is they have looked at t purely within | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
the confines of existing law. They have not talked about religion or | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
people's faith. They have looked at it purely in the terms of sweeping | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
presidential powers in terms of national security. That is right. If | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
you look at what the party that sued the president on this ban said, they | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
said it was a violation of the establishment clause, that says the | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
Government cannot act in a manner that is contrito religion or have a | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
nonsecular purpose. The president said the language is clear in the | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
Orde hear the as his authority is -- order as his authority, he is | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
allowed to say who can come to the United States and who he can exclude | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
for national security purposes. When you look at the language at what the | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
moving party who sued the president and what President Trump said, one | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
said religion and President Trump was able to convince the court it | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
was not a religion purpose for instituting the ban. Given what the | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
president said it is not clear this what is they would rule. | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
Last week, Republican Senators set out their proposal | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
And in the run up to Congress's recess for the 4th July it's | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
a big test for the party and President this week. | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
The Senate said it would vote on the proposed plans by the end | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
There are 52 Republican senators so they can't afford to lose | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
And at the moment it's thought there could be as many | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
as five Republican Senators who would vote | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
Remember, some of these senators are in tight races in 2018. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
In an interview with Fox News, President Trump | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
acknowledged its not easy to please everyone. | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
Mean - that was my term, because I want to see, | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
I want to see, and I speak from the heart, that's what I | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
want to see, I want to see a bill with heart. | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
Health care is is a very complicated subject from the standpoint that you | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
move it this way and this group doesn't like it. | :16:53. | :16:54. | |
You move it a little bit over here, you have a | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
And honestly, nobody can be totally happy. | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
This has to do with picking a plan that everybody's going to like. | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
Among those Republican senators coming under heat | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
for opposing the current bill is Dean Heller of Nevada. | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
He faces a tough re-election campaign next year and on Friday | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
he said this legislation would mean a loss of cover for millions | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
of Americans, including a good number in his state. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
Well that has sparked a fierce ad campaign. | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
A pro-Trump group is planning to pour in more than a million | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
dollars to oppose Heller's decision and the other side is | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
Nevadans need Senator Heller to vote no on health care repeal. | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
Heller decides whether your costs go up by double digits. | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
Whether you're one of the 138,000 who lose coverage. | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
Whether Medicaid is gutted, putting disabled | :17:55. | :17:55. | |
Heller decides whether our world communities suffer. | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
Senator Heller, you have a deciding vote. | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Nevadans need you to vote no on health care repeal. | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
Senator Heller has made his position clear. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
That it is unacceptable to us and millions of | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
If you're opposed to this bill, we are opposed to you. | :18:16. | :18:35. | |
I think that is the latest ad for the latest block buster. People | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
thought they had got through the election campaign and now all | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
they're getting is health care ads, Republican Senators seem to be | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
inching away from their own health care bill. No question. If you look | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
at this, you need at least 50. There is as many as six who want nothing | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
to do with this. People like Rob Portman in Ohio, who says we are not | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
doing enough with Medicaid and it has two billion and they want 40 -- | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
40 billion. It shows the gulf between those who want to spend a | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
little. And those who say we should spend more. We are still wait fog tr | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
CBO score of the congressional budget office, which has never been | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
good, and then they go home to their constituents and they will get it in | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
the neck there. They really to. -- they really do. In Corrado they have | :19:46. | :19:55. | |
ads targeting their Senator and so this is a serious issue that these | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
Senators are trying to deal with of how do I deal with the needs of my | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
constituents, versus what the party leadership is telling us. It is a | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
tightrope and this point I don't see the bill passing this week. Most | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
other person count -- western countries do not spend time talking | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
about health care. Here it is a such a make or break issue, how important | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
is it for the president? It is significant. The Republicans have | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
been saying for seven to eight year we want to get rid of Obamacare and | :20:30. | :20:39. | |
knew they have the opportunity with the largest majority can they do | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
this. At this is juncture I think the answer is no. Thank you for | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
being with us. They have achieved one thing. That is making Obamacare | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
increasingly popular. They actually like it now. | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
President Trump has been busy tweeting today - | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
six times before 9 am and five of them about Russia. | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
On Friday, the Washington Post reported the CIA had direct evidence | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
that Russia was intefering in the electoral process | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
And that Russian President Vladimir Putin had directly | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Donald Trump now insists it's all President Obama's fault. | :21:11. | :21:22. | |
The real story is that President Obama did NOTHING | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
after being informed in August about Russian meddling. | :21:25. | :21:42. | |
I don't think there will be an apology. Tell me about this, what | :21:43. | :21:51. | |
is, this series of tweets, he is acknowledging that there was Russian | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
interference and you don't hear him say that very much. No, it is | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
something that t intelligence agencies have been insisting on all | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
along in the United States. And that lots of people even in his own party | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
have acknowledged and tried to get him to acknowledge. He does now in | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
this tweet storm seem to bg a knowledge that. But he has got a | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
point, that even democrats will admit President Obama knew about | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
this Russian interference, but shied away from doing very much about it. | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
He did expel some diplomats. But President Trump said he didn't want | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
to make it look like the election was illegitimate when Donald Trump | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
was saying that the election was illegitimate. And so President Obama | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
didn't take action against a pretty extraordinary thing. This all stems | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
from this Washington Post article on Friday. I have tweeted it. The | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
detail and Tex tent of the detail is extraordinary. One line struck me. | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
They were talking about how the Americans would hit back, they said | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
the Americans had implants in the Russian networks and there was | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
concern in the administration that the damage might be caused to them | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
if they pressed go might be extensive and they might not be able | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
to stop it. That sungts there -- suggests there a hidden Cold War | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
that both things have things in each other oes systems that could go | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
anywhere if they decided to get nas y. It not quite James Bond. It is | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
hackers in a basement. The level of spying on both sides is | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
extraordinary and that Post article talks about that. Now some other | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
news from around the world. The US firm that supplied cladding | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
used on London's Grenfell Tower has ended global sales of the product | :23:49. | :23:51. | |

Now there has been odd relationship between Donald Trump | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
And it got stranger over the weekend because of a present | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
Malcolm Turnbull was given a tie - more specifically, a tie | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
from the Donald J Trump signature collection. | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
I wonder if it is a long tie with Sellotape on the back. He sticks his | :25:19. | :25:30. | |
tie down to stop it flying in the air. I don't understand why these | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
priests are getting involved. It shows there is a thing between the | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
Australian Prime Minister and President Trump. Or that the priests | :25:40. | :25:40. | |
have a sense of humour. Maybe. You're watching 100 | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
Days Plus from BBC News. Still to come - we will look | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
at the deal which will help the Conservative Party rule the UK | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
and examine the billion pound cost. And with Narendra Modi in Washington | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
for meetings with Donald Trump, it pits campaign slogans | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
America First against Make it India. That's still to come on 100 | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
Days Plus, from BBC News. Those of you last week who | :25:59. | :26:13. | |
complained it was too hot and we needed some rain for the gardens, | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
well, be careful what you wish for. We have mad a beautiful day and we | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
had some warmth in the south-east, highs of 25 recorded close to the | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
London area. But the cloud is gathering to the north and west and | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
in Belfast some threatening skies in the afternoon. Rain is on the way. | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
So yes, the cloud here at the moment, and some of the rain heavy. | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
So it will be good news for gardeners and growers, the rain will | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
push through Northern Ireland and Scotland and Wales through the | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
evening rush hour and over night. Some of it very heavy. We will see | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
some rain in parts of Wales. Further south, we stay muggy through the | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
night. So temperatures around 15 or 16 degrees to. The north of rain it | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
could be chilly with low single fingers in the sheltered north-east. | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
So a Chaly start -- chilly start here, but dry. The rain will be | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
across the Western Isles in Scotland and the central Lowlands. A | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
particularly heavy burst of rain for the early morning rush hour. The | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
same in North west England and into Wales. Anywhere south of the | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Midlands down into south-east England and the south-west will | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
start off dry, relatively mild with highs of around 17 degrees. The heat | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
will build and it will be a humid feel in the south and that could | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
trigger some sharp, thundery down pours. The rain moves north and east | :27:48. | :27:56. | |
and sunny spells, scattered showers and breezy for the end of day. We | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
are surrounded by low pressure late on Tuesday into Wednesday. So there | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
will be some spells of rain continuing during the early hours of | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
Wednesday morning. Some quite heavy, possibly thundery. That will be the | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
story on the to Wednesday, a good down pour for the gardens and the | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
growers will be happy. Not great if you have outdoor plans. The week | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
will stay unsettled. Spells of rain and it will turn cooler, less summer | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
like. Take care. Welcome back to One Hundred Days | :28:27. | :30:07. | |
Plus, I'm Katty Kay in Washington. Britain's Conservative Party has | :30:08. | :30:10. | |
signed a deal with a small party from Northern Ireland | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
allowing it to govern This money is to help address the | :30:17. | :30:31. | |
deficit and to improve hospitals and schools and to address the deficit | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
in the public services. I think there is a case to be made from | :30:37. | :30:37. | |
around. -- Northern Ireland. As India's Prime Minister, | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
Narendra Modi prepares to meet President Donald Trump for the first | :30:42. | :30:43. | |
time on his visit to We look at what the two leaders | :30:44. | :30:46. | |
expect from each other. A deal has finally been signed - | :30:47. | :30:56. | |
two weeks after British Prime Minister Theresa May found | :30:57. | :30:59. | |
out her party had lost its working majority in the House of Commons, | :31:00. | :31:01. | |
the Conservatives have now agreed a pact with Northern Ireland's | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
Democratic Unionist Party. The deal with the party's ten MPs | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
now means that Mrs May's conservatives do now have this | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
majority and will be backed on key votes such as on the budget | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
and Brexit legislation. But it's cost the Government | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
an extra one billion pounds - that's in addition to the 500 | :31:18. | :31:21. | |
million already committed That deal is for two years - | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
at which point it will be reviewed. I'm joined by Enda McClafferty, | :31:26. | :31:32. | |
BBC's Northern Ireland Correspondent and our political reporter | :31:33. | :31:34. | |
Eleanor Garnier at Westminster. Jeffrey Donaldson confirmed that | :31:35. | :31:47. | |
this money would be spent in Northern Ireland are not the | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
power-sharing executive gets back together. And wondering whether it | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
might been better for the Conservatives to trim in some way | :31:54. | :31:55. | |
stipulate that it had to be backed up and running before the money came | :31:56. | :32:01. | |
forward? That was an interesting take because throughout the day here | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
that has been much discussion around that issue because nowhere in the | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
steel didn't specify if this money was coming to Northern Ireland | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
regardless of an executive and running. The preference has been a | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
local minister spend a lot of money was coming their way and health and | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
education and if it was the case that the cash was group to become | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
contingent and then getting a deal that would have put Sinn Fein and a | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
very difficult position because they would've had to make a call on | :32:29. | :32:30. | |
whether they were prepared to do a deal with the DUP and without doing | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
a deal MOBILE PHONE RINGS Said to you was that money. | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
In terms of what is happening right now, Arlene Foster started her | :32:41. | :32:45. | |
morning rubber-stamping one deal with trees are me and right now she | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
is behind us in this castle in discussions with Sinn Fein trying to | :32:50. | :32:53. | |
agree another deal and time is running out because they have to get | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
an agreement before 4pm on Thursday. To restore the power-sharing | :32:58. | :33:04. | |
suggestions and. The billion pound is not a small boat of money for the | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
payments to 2 cents to Northern Ireland. The much pressure will she | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
be under if you try to push a necessity agenda and she has managed | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
to find that much money to shore up our own Government? What has | :33:17. | :33:19. | |
happened today has resulted in the shredding of a couple of pages of | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
the Conservative manifesto that they set out during the general election. | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
If you look at some of the pension benefits, winter fuel allowance, the | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
Conservatives wanted that to be means tested but now it want, it | :33:33. | :33:40. | |
will be universal. Also for pensions themselves, the Government wants to | :33:41. | :33:43. | |
get rid of something called the triple lock which guarantees that | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
state pension screw-up by at least 2.5% a year, the Conservatives | :33:50. | :33:51. | |
wanted to scrap that could actually know that will stay in place. | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
Clearly the Government 's plans have come under pressure and have had to | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
make way to secure the steel and of course remember that without the | :34:01. | :34:03. | |
steel Theresa May would not have been able to Government with a | :34:04. | :34:07. | |
majority. It was key to her being able to get on with the governing of | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
the day. Has she been left much strengthened and bold question mark | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
I don't think so. She is perhaps less wobbly but not so strong. The | :34:19. | :34:25. | |
point was made, why shouldn't the citizens of Northern Ireland have as | :34:26. | :34:31. | |
much money as Scotland and Wales, but the concern has all those been | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
the money goes to not only risk amenities that back the DUP and I | :34:37. | :34:41. | |
suppose it Sinn Fein wanted guarantees that some of this money | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
will be spent in their areas. Absolutely. Especially the money | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
around infrastructure. We're talking about ?400 million. The only project | :34:50. | :34:57. | |
specified in the deal is a major road infrastructure in Belfast. Sinn | :34:58. | :35:01. | |
Fein would like to see money spread farther west because there are two | :35:02. | :35:05. | |
major Rd schemes they are that drastically need funding and they | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
will be keen to see that whatever money is left over from the 400 | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
million goes in that direction is because politically it will show the | :35:12. | :35:15. | |
people that this warmth and good users been spread around all across | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
Northern Ireland. It isn't as good news for once said of the community, | :35:21. | :35:21. | |
everyone will share in it. America First meets India First | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
today when Donald Trump hosts the Indian Prime | :35:27. | :35:29. | |
Minister Narendra Modi. It's not clear how compatible | :35:30. | :35:30. | |
these two visions are. Narendra Modi addressed that | :35:31. | :35:33. | |
in an opinion piece appearing Joining us now is Alyssa Ayers - | :35:34. | :35:35. | |
from the Council There are clearly a lot of areas of | :35:36. | :36:05. | |
common interest between these two but there are sticking points to | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
between India and President Trump at the moment particularly on the issue | :36:10. | :36:12. | |
of immigration and President Trump and people around him would like to | :36:13. | :36:16. | |
restrict the number of skilled Indians coming to work in the United | :36:17. | :36:23. | |
States, much of a is that? I would imagine that by Minister Modi raises | :36:24. | :36:27. | |
this and the context of workforce mobility. There are pretty limited | :36:28. | :36:34. | |
avenues for the executive branch of the United States to make changes to | :36:35. | :36:36. | |
immigration programmes overnight. The White House has started an | :36:37. | :36:43. | |
executive review of the Visa programme for skilled workers and | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
its outcome hasn't been announced yet but we would know that before | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
the two leaders meet but only system that is really a Congress that has | :36:54. | :36:57. | |
control over the major aspects of immigration. It can't be that the | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
White House and ounces overnight a change in the number of visas, that | :37:02. | :37:07. | |
would have to come... We saw this on the issue of climate change and | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
presidents trump pulling out of the Paris accords. There are concerns | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
amongst America's allies that America is retreating and other | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
nations may step in to fill that void. We have seen Indian officials | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
talking about climate change and they are ready and waiting to step | :37:24. | :37:29. | |
in on this issue. I be good to see a more national standard interventions | :37:30. | :37:37. | |
to India? With President Trump in office. It is a comparative change. | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
All of a sudden it was as if under former President we worked very hard | :37:44. | :37:49. | |
to work with India to come on board and premise Modi said was in India's | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
own interests to be focused on joining the Paris commitment but no | :37:56. | :38:01. | |
India is now a global leader of upholding this agreement at a time | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
when the US are stepping back. And a comparative sense you do see in | :38:06. | :38:09. | |
India stepping up to take on greater global leadership remained not have | :38:10. | :38:12. | |
seen such an activist posture ten years ago. President Trump has put a | :38:13. | :38:20. | |
lot of stall and personal relationships will stop racing to | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
improve with China and these two are quite some, they are nationalists, | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
populists, how do you think that might influence the relationship? | :38:30. | :38:36. | |
They are populists but they are quite different personalities I | :38:37. | :38:41. | |
think. By Minister Modi is very different from President Trump 's | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
they appear to have different areas of focus, we would began in the | :38:47. | :38:52. | |
segment was a potential clash between make America great again and | :38:53. | :38:59. | |
by American and by Minister Modi's signature. You're not sure whether | :39:00. | :39:05. | |
whether there will be an clash or an ability to find convergence. Fenn | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
Street is an area we will find some convergence. It is good to be | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
interested, the trump effect on other countries around the world. | :39:16. | :39:22. | |
Ahead of the meetings, Donald Trump used twitter to call Narendra Modi a | :39:23. | :39:30. | |
true friend. It is truly does have taken very well to social media. | :39:31. | :39:36. | |
Donald Trump as such 2 million followers, Narendra Modi has 31. I | :39:37. | :39:46. | |
need to up my game, 32 million. I think the point of this was making | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
about the effect Donald Trump has on other countries is really | :39:52. | :39:53. | |
interesting and whether other countries are stepping up on key | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
issues like global warming to fill a void that has been left by the | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
United States and other so that the something that concerns over this | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
year and America who fear America's pulling back. Does she put the | :40:06. | :40:11. | |
emphasis on the right things? On immigration but it is the surplus | :40:12. | :40:16. | |
that India has with America is only about 50 billion music about the | :40:17. | :40:21. | |
size of the two countries. Other big people who are concerned the made in | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
some ways and settle the literature that has been going? Every single | :40:25. | :40:35. | |
tech company in silicon valley. The supply so many people. The | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
middle-class Indian workers are important to that industry. I want | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
to show you the largest and most powerful ship ever built... | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
is expected to take to the sea for the first time | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
The ship is then expected to undergo sea trials in the coming months. | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
Our Defence Correspondent, Jonathan Beale, reports | :40:58. | :40:59. | |
The biggest warship ever built in Britain is about to go to sea | :41:00. | :41:02. | |
It's been one of the largest, most complex engineering projects | :41:03. | :41:06. | |
in the UK, that has taken years and cost more than ?3 billion. | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
HMS Queen Elizabeth is now ready to set sail. | :41:11. | :41:18. | |
Her crew of 700 are finding their way around the labyrinth | :41:19. | :41:21. | |
inside, and getting used to life on board. | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
Yeah, the beds, just the bed alone are bigger than you get on normal | :41:29. | :41:31. | |
ships anyway, so that's always a good start. | :41:32. | :41:33. | |
Yes, everything is better when it's newer, isn't it? | :41:34. | :41:36. | |
It will be another year before the first jets take off and land, | :41:37. | :41:42. | |
and she won't be fully operational until 2021. | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
But this is a significant moment for the Royal Navy. | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
It'll have been without an aircraft carrier for almost a decade. | :41:50. | :41:54. | |
I think there are very few capabilities by any country that | :41:55. | :41:57. | |
are as symbolic and totemic as a carrier's strike capability. | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
These are very visible symbols of national power | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
But first, they'll have to carefully manoeuvre this massive ship out | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
of the dock, with the help of 11 barges. | :42:11. | :42:16. | |
Just to give you a sense of scale, from one end of the deck | :42:17. | :42:19. | |
to the other is about 300 metres, that is the length of | :42:20. | :42:22. | |
As for height, from the keel to the top of that mast, | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
that is taller than Nelson's Column and in fact they are going to have | :42:28. | :42:30. | |
to lower that mast as they slide her through this dock, | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
very narrow spaces, and eventually having to take her under | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
That will be the beginning of her first sea trials. | :42:39. | :42:50. | |
And, later this year, if it all goes according to plan, | :42:51. | :42:53. | |
she will be sailing into her new home of Portsmouth. | :42:54. | :42:56. |
